Honeywell offers a real solution to day and night surveillance applications with its line-up of DC auto iris Vari-Focal lenses that deliver clear, sharp, color images in daylight and black and white images in darkness using near infrared illumination, without the need to refocus the lens. Our lenses achieve day/night lighting corrections through a combination of our proprietary optical design and aspherical elements, allowing superior wide aperture performance (F0.95) in low light to capture high quality images even in horizontal field angles up to 94 degrees.

Market Opportunities

Today’s lens market is rapidly changing from part-time observation (day or night) to round-the-clock surveillance. With Honeywell Day/Night Vari-Focal technology, you now have the ability to upgrade or integrate CCTV security systems affordably. The ability to view high contrast, clear, detailed images adds value to any project. Advanced aspherical design engineering reduces distortion and provides accurate visual identification of subjects in daylight, low light and near infrared light, without the need to refocus the lens. In addition to extraordinary low-light functionality, Honeywell Day/Night lenses are compact, light-weight and easy to install making them perfect for use with true day night cameras in outdoor installations such as parking lots, ports and other areas where low light imaging is important.

where scene and lighting requirements vary.

Featuring world-class design—Honeywell Video's lenses bring together the highest quality aspherical glass optics, lightweight construction, and durability to ensure state-of-the-art optical correction, transmission and light-gathering ability. Vari-focal length lenses allow the installer the flexibility of obtaining the exact field of view quickly and easily, eliminating lens substitutions or the need to continuously adjust the camera setup. This is especially convenient for future changes to the viewing environment. Our lenses allow superior wide aperture performance (F0.95) in low light to capture high-quality images up to 540 TVL, even in horizontal field angles up to 110 degrees.

Market Opportunities

Today's CCTV systems demand lenses that are compact and provide the best optical performance while being easy to install and adjust. Our line of Vari-focal lenses offers the most compact size in the market while maintaining the widest maximum apertures (up to F0.95) for a given focal length range. Innovations such as the focus lock mechanism being separated from the focusing ring ensure accurate adjustment of the focus the first time, reducing time spent in installation and setup of the lens.

Our Auto Iris lenses are 1/3" format and are compatible with the vast majority of today's CCD cameras. The camera controls the iris through an industry-standard 4-pin connector and cable. Our manual lenses allow the installer to set the depth of field for a specific application.

Lens selection is the most critical element in any CCTV installation. Honeywell Video's complete line of Vari-focal lenses provide you with the highest quality, reliability and ease-of-installation, suitable for indoor applications in retail, hospitality, financial, and gaming establishments and outdoor applications, such as ports and parking lots and other areas where low light imaging is important.
